Developer - Sega   Catalogue No. - G-5524

 

Type - RPG


The year is 2284 A.W. and monster outbreaks are more fierce than ever. You begin the game being called out of bed by Alys Brangwin, today is the day you are a full fledged partner as a Hunter. You are Chaz Ashley. You have just received an urgent request to appear at the Motavian Academy located at a town called Piata which is is the heart of your home planet, Motavia. Upon arrival you take up an interview with the principal of the academy who requests that you exterminate these monsters that have been recently seen around the academy which is located in the basement. There seems to be more to this case than just getting rid of monsters...

What at first turns out to be a mission to save your home planet Motavia and the neighboring planet Dezolis from devastating climate problems turns into to saving the entire Algo Solar system from an evil being called Dark Force (sound familiar?). Along your travels you will meet many friends and foes as you undergo many trials and obstacles while suffering great losses.

This game has one of the best and definitely one of the most original stories. The characters are very livid and have great scripts that give them personality and not just cheap lines to make a cast of characters. Your enemies are also very foul and vile. While sure as this game is an RPG and it does have the usual objective of save the world, its not played in the same way many other RPGs are (not saying its a bad thing). This game has very powerful scenes to it that I think some players would actually shed a tear to (I did).

Another original aspect to the story of this game is how its laid out to the player visually. When you come across an important part of the plot (which there are many) you would get anime pictures to give you a better feel of what's going on rather than just text and script. The script was very well written too but it was just astonishing that they included anime to make it like a comic book.
Simply put: the story of this game is filled with beautiful characters and horrid enemies with shocking plot twists that clash together to make an original Sega master piece.
